    A wonderful video game that'll hopefully blossom into a more fully featured effort in the months ahead.

    Crimson: Steam Pirates is like a good book and a game of chess rolled into one Must Have download.

    Just the fact that this is a Bungie game should alone be enough to garner the interest of any gamer. Combine that with the freemium pricing model that gives you the first chapter of the game for free, and this is a surefire shot of success.

    The graphics are neat, the background music engaging, and the sound effects brilliant. The Bungie leaderboards and stats also provide an in-depth analysis of your performance.

    Less strategic than it wants to be, but this is a fun and hugely likeable time-waster for iPad owners.

The in-app purchase approach was a little too blatant for me, but if my money funds future expansions with the same quality, I'm in. :-)… Full Review »
